Religion is something dear to my heart! Religious philosophy is how we determine how we will live. It dictates to us whether we believe in an Afterlife, or if we don't believe in the Supernatural. It dictates how we determine to become a better person or live life to the fullest. I am grandstanding yes but I'm trying to make a point Religion is powerful. I'm thankful to be raised in a Christian Home. I hope we all take the time to appreciate our Religion, study, and determine to become better people. As a Christian I love to meet people of other skin color, nationality, language, and even religion. It's especially awe inspiring to see someone from India, Japan, or Rwanda, who is a follower of Jesus Christ. It's human nature to look at someone and immediately pick out the differences between ourselves and others; we do this to those in our own race, so why should a different race be any different. The awesome thing about Religion, it unites and immediately encourages us to look past physical differences or any difference for that matter. Because I immediately see a fellow brother or sister in Christ! We are both followers of Christ! True biblical Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and all the other religions is to encourage seeing fellow humanity as friends and family. This might open a debate because to a certain degree religion can divide, but it can open incredible dialogue's between religious philosophies. Libertarianism as a Political Philosophy and Ideology encourage Individualism, and stresses that every man deserves civil liberty! Libertarianism doesn't view a person as black, red, or white but rather as an Individual who deserves their Liberty and Freedom. It's the only Political Theory of government in the US that doesn't divide or turn People against People. It doesn't view government as a way to coercively enforce religious, racial, or national belief systems on others. Religion and Libertarianism is my solution to solve discrimination. We are breaking barriers, and seeing old walls crumble more today than ever. I don't think we will ever truely unite in this country until we embrace a Libertarian Political philosophy, and we understand the Bible{or your particular text}. God created us all equal and we all have a common ancestor isn't it time we accept each other as humans and move on? As the Decleration of Independence states so well:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"
Yours in Liberty,Nate
